Does EAp2 require the building be minimally occupied. My client recently purchased a 10 story office building and is slowly converting it to lab space to be leased. The building is currently around 50% occupied. Are we able to begin the Performance Period at this occupancy, or do we have to wait until the building is fully occupied?
Any insight or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Ian, For most space types, including offices, the minimum occupancy is set at 50%. You can find details of how this is calculated/demonstrated in this technical document put out by USGBC: http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=6292
